Dennis is Special Advisor for the Dallas Mavericks and has worked in the NBA with The Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, and the Utah Jazz (where he was GM and Executive VP of Basketball Operations.)

I met Dennis at GCU, where his son Jake is an assistant coach.

We chat about his journey, his stops along the way, confrontation and competition, keys to building strong relationships and networks, some changes he'd like to see in the college game, and much, much more.

Hope you enjoy the chat!
